Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Two brothers meet on the grounds of a private psychiatric facility. Drew, has been court-confined for observation and has called his older brother, Terry, to corroborate his claim of childhood sexual abuse by a young man from many summers ago. Drew's request releases barely-hidden animosities between the two: Is he using these repressed memories to save himself while smearing the name of his brother's friend? Through pain and acknowledged betrayal, the brothers come to grips with and begin to understand the legacy of abuse, both inside and outside their family home.
 
In a Dark, Dark House is the latest work from Neil LaBute, American theater’s great agent provocateur. The play will have its world Premiere in May 2007, Off Broadway at New York’s MCC Theater.

User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Neil Labute's most personal work
Another disturbing but impossibe to put down play by the young heir to Tennesse Williams, Edward Albee and Mamet. A must-read for LaBute aficionados.


Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A dark dark story...and impact
I am a true admirerer of the work of Neil LaBute. I've seen many of his plays in New York and have seen all of his films (Even Hollow Man...Ugggh). In a Dark, Dark House is a very valid addition to his repertoire. Recently I have found his plays have become a bit predicatble, possibly due to the rapidity in which he writes. His recent works have also had a tendency to hit you with an unapologetic ton of bricks with the theme or "moral." However, this one took me by surprise. Not only by the original structure and pattern but also by the incredibly intricate characterization. Both leads are an actor's dream and I wish I was in New York when it was playing. It would have been interesting to see what was done. Bottom line, it's a good and surprising read folks, especially if you are a LaBute aficionado.
